The Taylor Swift Story...

Taylor Swift is a new country singer (she sings that Tim McGraw song). She is only 17 years old, but very talented. Anyway, my brother-in-law got tickets to take my sister to see her perform, but she ended up having to work. Their 8 year old (my nephew) loves her, so he took him instead. On the way to the concert they were in a HORRIBLE car accident. While they were waiting for the ambulance to come my nephew asked if they were still going to see Taylor Swift and when he heard they couldn't he was absolutely crushed. So after all was said and done my brother-in-law sent an email to her fan-site (or something like that) with the whole story and pictures of the van and asked if she would send him an autograph. Taylor Swift actually called him on the phone to talk to him and then offered him free tickets to a show she was giving in a nearby town. He was so excited because she told him she would let him go inside the tour-bus and backstage. I haven't had a chance to talk to him yet, but I'm guessing it was an experience he won't soon forget. So I am now officially a die-hard Taylor Swift fan, because there aren't a lot of "stars" out there who would have actually called him to thank him for being their fan. Its nice to know that unlike some people (cough, brittany spears, cough) success hasn't gone to her head. (Or shaved her head, either...)
